Lakeview Jr High School

Amazing school district. Great teachers, great academics

This school has THE worst school-parent communication. Emails often seem rushed and not fully thought out and the tone is rude and condescending from the Principal to the office staff! I have had mostly positive interactions so far with the teachers, but right now this school's communication and interactions leave quite a bit to be desired. When I've inquired about school happenings, I am often met with curt communication both in person and via email. I recognize this is middle school and there is a demographic of educators that believe parents should be a little less involved, but my children are 11- I'm going to be super involved to ensure they are having a positive and challenging experience. I don't want to be made to feel like I'm a bother because I have questions about things that haven't been communicated proactively. So far...I HATE having my children enrolled here. It's no wonder the school is rated a 6/10 on Greatschools. I'm an educator also and had I known this was the energy in the school, I likely would have chosen a different middle school for my kids. The principal seems to be in "about to retire" mode and that is unfair to the kiddos' whose education is at stake.

Fantastic! The best in the area with great fine arts.

My experience at this particular school so far has been especially tremendous. From experience, the programs and extra-curricular activities they provide are nutritious for the mind. I love this school and this is a truly amazing district.
